“I used to think that no other person could love my dog Oliver as much as I do... until I found Trish. She has been an absolute godsend to us and I could not be more grateful for her. It truly feels like I am dropping my dog off to spend the day with family in a home where he will be loved to no end. I wish I could give her 100 ⭐️'s and I HIGHLY recommend her for anybody in need of dog care!”
“Jason was able to accommodate a short notice stay without hesitation. I enjoyed and appreciated all of the “pupdates” and photos. Theo came home thoroughly exhausted, which is great! He was completely comfortable and loved playing with Timber and another puppy staying over. I recommend Jason and Samantha to any fur parent looking for quality care! We will be repeat clients!!!”
About: We have had 2 dogs for quite some time. Cody always had a pet in the home growing up and we have had our dogs since they were puppies (the oldest is 8 years old). We are willing to give any medicines and we brush our own dogs teeth at night, so we can do yours if you would like! Cody works from home, and Ashley is home most of the time so we will be willing to work with you and what your pup needs! We have a single family home with a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies ourselves to keep your pet company! We also have a doggy door to the backyard if your pup knows how to use it :) We do not crate our own dogs but are willing to crate your pup if that is the preference. We usually take our dogs on 4 walks per day, lasting about 30 minutes each walk plus free roam in the backyard.
“We highly recommend Danny if you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter! She frequently updated us throughout the day and made sure to send pictures of Bean often! We cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of our pup!”
“They were very accommodating to our schedule. It was extra special with the pictures she sent, we were able to see how happy and how much fun our puppy was having. If in the area, we would definitely reach out to her again. Thanks Emily!”
“They were great with my dog! He got to spend time outside and enjoyed playing with their dog. He came home tired and ready for a nap, so I’m sure he had a great day. Thank you so much Bobbie and family for taking care of my boy! I’ll definitely be back for doggy day care in the future.”
“Natalie and her crew took great care of our boys. We felt so at ease leaving them with her for the day. Next time we are through coralville we be sure to book a stay for our boys in her home”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my own fur family, I've watched several other's fur babies for the past 10 years. I work from home, so I'm home the majority of the time. That means your animals always get the attention they need, plus always another animal for companionship. I don't have a fenced yard, but I ALWAYS tether or take them out on a leash when at my home. I do like to give treats like kongs for added stimulation as well. I do have crates or have room for crates for sleeping or if they need alone time.
About: We have both taken care of animals for most of my life. I have always had cats and dogs as pets, and I have cared for many of my friends’ and families’ pets. I currently work full time but have the ability to work remote. Between my partner and I, there is almost always at least one person at our house at any given time. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for our dogs to run around. We take them for walks daily. We shower our pets with love and attention; they are rarely alone.
About: I love both dogs and cats like their my own. I have 20+ years experience with caring for pets. I have experience with walking, bathing, brushing, and playing with cats and dogs. I have a day time job Monday-Friday 8-4:30pm. I would be able to take the dogs out before work, and when I get home. My husband works from home 2-3 days a week and would be available to be home to take care of your fur baby during every Thursday and Friday. On the weekends, I am able to take dogs out at at least every 2-4 hours. Thursdays/Fridays, my husband will be helping me with potty breaks while I am at my day job. I do not have a fenced in area, but will take your fur-baby out as often as needed between my husband and I both. We will use a leash to keep your pet safe!
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have had many neighbors back home request my dog sitting services. I am home all day, as I work remotely, and have a dog of Chocolate lab that loves to play but never gets to spend time with other dogs since we are new to the area. I definitely am open to negotiating prices so just reach out and we can have a conversation! I work remotely and will be available to care for dogs throughout the day and ensure they are well cared for. I work from 8-4 however have a lot of down time to care for dogs. I have a patio for dogs to be outside if they want to as well as a separate office space that my dog sleeps in at night. I also have a crate available if need be.
“Can there be 10 stars??? Megan watched our Coco while we attended a family event. She communicated and followed up and sent photos. Coco was happy and exhausted when we picked her up. Megan is THE BEST!”
About: I treat every dog like my own and love creating routines that keep dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or making sure they get the right amount of play and rest, I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making your pup feel secure and loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time on weekends at the hospital so I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to pet care! I love spending time with animals, so this feels natural and rewarding. I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or medication needs—and I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention.
“Kasey was an absolute blessing to us! Our daughter was admitted to Iowa City Hospital and we were traveling with our 2 fur babies. We had no idea how we would be able to visit her, but Kasey made it possible! Her location to the hospital is absolutely perfect! Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!”
“Our 1st day care was great! Melissa and Joseph were attentive and caring and sent fun pictures of her playing which was really nice for us to see! Look forward to having our girl stay with them again soon?”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've always been surrounded by animals and have developed a natural ability to care for them. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of animal behavior. I’m not only comfortable with dogs of all ages but also have experience handling puppies and providing senior dog care. I work from home, which allows me to give your pet my full attention throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I'll be the one taking care of your pet personally, ensuring they get plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. We have a dog at home and an unfenced yard, but we're just one block away from a dog park, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. If needed, we can crate our dog to ensure safety and comfort during your pet's visit. We always prioritize the well-being of all pets in our care and will adjust our home environment as needed to meet your pet's needs.

Robert S.Star Sitter
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend to Robert and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and service he provided. Robert is truly a dog lover! From the moment I reached out to Robert on Rover.com, his professionalism and prompt communication stood out. He was quick to respond to my inquiries, and we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit for my dog's needs and personality. I appreciated his attention to detail and the genuine interest he showed in getting to know my dog's habits, preferences, and any specific instructions. Robert provided a safe and comfortable environment for my furry companion, treating my dog as if they were their own. Regular updates, including photos and videos, were sent to me, allowing me to see that my dog was happy and content while in their care. This level of communication brought peace of mind, especially when I had to be away from my pup for an extended period. He made sure my dog received plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to Robert for any future dog-sitting needs!”
